The Expert Vet #5029 (8-04-2014)

The Expert Vet (8-04-2014) #5029: What to do if you adopt a dog like Tracie’s new Blue Weimaraner Maisie and she has horrible diarrhea when switching her to better food? Dr. Donna explains FRD (fiber responsive diarrhea in large breed young dogs) and how adding Fiber One cereal and psyllium husk powder to all meals, allows for a slow transition to a new higher quality food — in this case Halo Healthy Weight Management kibble and The Honest Kitchen raw dehydrated mixes. (Halo and The Honest Kitchen are RPLN sponsors.)
